Attorney General Jeff Sessions reacted to the infrequent but noteworthy Twitter criticisms he receives from his boss, President Donald Trump.

In an interview with his home state's WAPI radio station in Birmingham, Ala., Sessions gave a measured response to the sometimes harsh comments Trump publishes.

Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!

"That's just his style. He says what's on his mind at the time [and] I understand that," Sessions said.

Sessions added that he is thankful to Trump for allowing him to contribute to an agenda the two jointly believe in.
